We discuss her career as a world expert in cardiac and vascular anesthesia with a deep focus in thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. We discuss how to develop an area of expertise, how to keep learning, how to overcome imposter syndrome, how to deal with failure, and much more.

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to Ackrak. |
0:15.6 | I'm Jed Wolpaw, and we are back with another master clinician episode. |
0:19.8 | I am absolutely thrilled to have with me a true master clinician, Dr. Mimi Wyn. |
0:24.6 | Listeners will know that Dr. Wynne came on the show before to talk about cardiac and |
0:28.9 | thoracic anesthesia, especially thoracic anesthesia, of which she is really thought of as |
0:32.8 | being a true world expert. |
0:34.5 | We had a great conversation. |

1:15.8 | amazing educator. I think anyone at the University of Wisconsin, anesthesia, and vascular |
1:19.5 | surgery departments would agree. So that's really a testament. Dr. Wyn, thank you so much and welcome |
1:24.4 | back to the show. Well, thank you, Chad. |
1:28.0 | Thank you for having me. |
1:29.4 | I must say that, honestly, I am humbled to be even talking about this with you. |
1:37.1 | Well, it's clearly well deserved. |
1:39.8 | And whether you're willing to admit it or not, lots of your colleagues and residents do. |
